Only Doing The Ttg Test?

My dr has ordered the tTG test but that is the only celiac test he ordered. He also ordered fasting blood glucose, ferritin, CBC, Vitamin B12, TSH, creatinine, sodium, and potassium. Most people seem to get a full panel of celiac blood tests. Will only one celiac test show an accurate result?

If I recall, you said you were in Ontario. OHIP will not pay for the full celiac panel. They may now cover the tTg, but not all that long ago they would not. All the other tests you mention are covered by OHIP. If you have private insurance, they may pay for the tests that OHIP won't. The Canadian Celiac Association is actively lobbying the government on this issue. Ontario is the only province whose provincial plan won't cover a proper celiac test panel.

it's a very basic start to looking at your health- but with the celiac portion being only the TTG, and the thyroid portion only being the TSH... you're very likely to be UNdiagnosed when there could actually be something to diagnose... my Endomysial Antibody (part of a Celiac panel) was my only solid positive... and my TSH didnt go above 5 untill i was 34 or 35 years old- when my thyroid had actually started to fail when i was a child.

good luck to you and continue to research especially on here... know your ranges because the doctors rarely do...

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The site I posted earlier does include ALL ingredients, including ANY binders. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Have y'all checked for any binders with the manufacturing chemists? Binders on medications don't have to be listed in ingredients lists and the only surefire way to find out is to speak to the chemists directly. It's very difficult to find them, but if you do I would be very interested since I was just about to start Xiromed and already struggle with my diet. I would love to hear if you do find a safe source!

      UK Visitors: Award Winning Flapjackery in the West Country (and Chichester, West Sussex)

      By cristiana · Posted

      Flapjack is as British as Fish & Chips!  Oats, butter, sugar, golden syrup... yum.  I have just returned from Fowey in Cornwall having discovered they have a branch of this amazing, award winning flapjack shop in the town.  I would thoroughly recommend that all coeliacs visiting Cornwall and Devon, who can tolerate pure oats, to drop in and buy one buy one (or several).  The oats used in Flapjackery's recipes are certified gluten free.  How wonderful for us coeliacs to be able to go into a shop and buy absolutely EVERYTHING on sale!  They come in so many interesting flavours including blackberry, cream tea, clotted cream, millionaires, salted caramel, tropical fruit, Eton Mess...  Also available by post. https://www.flapjackery.co.uk/
